Thanks for the great review Justin!

The Xmarks team has just launched a new browser add-on called Xmarks SearchTabs. When you search on Google, SearchTabs automatically adds tabs that show you the top ten sites about your search, based on our analysis of over 800 million bookmarks.

Give it a try at http://www.searchtabs.com and let us know what you think.

Comment on Quick Hit: Installing Pre-Reqs for Exchange 2010 by Josh

Josh — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:10:02 +0000

FYI, Instead of ServerManagerCmd for W2k8R2 MS is now recomending that users use PS to install the pre-req’s for Exchange. ServerManagerCmd is being depreciated.

Exchange 2010 has a number of prerequisite features that need installing. Unfortunately the documentation gives them using ServerManagerCmd. This will never do. Ok the PowerShell equivalent is:

Add-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-ADDS-Tools, RPC-over-HTTP-proxy, NET-HTTP-Activation, Web-Dyn-Compression, Web-Windows-Auth, Web-Digest-Auth, Web-Basic-Auth, Web-Lgcy-Mgmt-Console, Web-Metabase, Web-ISAPI-Ext, Web-Server -Concurrent

If required the features can be installed individually. The PowerShell remoting features enable us to perform these actions on remote servers as well as the local server.

Comment on Improper Rendering of XAML? by Justin

Thanks Erick. Those few little changes seem to help the rendering; almost appears to fix the problem. Nice workaround.

Justin – I’m a VS WPF Designer team member and I’ve reproduced your problem with the freshest of VS2010 bits and it is still a problem. I’ve entered an issue to track it, hopefully we can improve the rendering before we ship, but this will llikely still be an issue in Beta2.

A workaround you could employ, just to make the rendering in the designer more accurate is to remove Window’s size, set a fixed size on Window’s child and set Window.SizeToContent=”WidthAndHeight”.

This will make the window “shrink-wrap” around the window’s child rather than have window’s borders/etc take up space in the child. Should give you the same layout with better fidelity.

If you could post a link to the XAML file that exhibits this inconsistent behavior, it would be easier to understand the problem and suggest the solution (or bug fix?).
Thanks, Rob

Mischa, that’s a good idea too. I’ve been working on something to do that as well. Keep checking back for updates on the Windows Live Gallery!

It still has a few bugs here and there, but we are looking into them.

Wonderfull plugin! So simple & clean and brilliantly easy to setup… great work!

Here’s a thought: Wouldn’t it be nice if you could add the album art to the line as well? Maybe including a link to an online store?

Cheers!

Okay, now that is just fun. Although, I’m having trouble remembering web addresses from 1997!

Hi Justin,
I second that suggestion. Being able to have ones Associate ID embedded in there is somewhat important. That’s the main reason the majority of people take the time to link to books on Amazon.
Would love to see this feature added.

Regards,
Jonathan

Thanks Will! That wouldn’t be too hard to add … I haven’t had much time to do any development lately, but with the holidays around the corner, I’ll see what I can do. Keep your eyes peeled for an update! -JB

Justin,

Great plugin. Thanks for sharing it. It would be even better if I could add my associates id to the link that’s created. Any thoughts on adding this capability?

Thanks.
